Been Busy

Here's the print I created for the Fine Arts Fund campaign here in Cincinnati this year. For you non-locals, the flying pig is a symbol of our town (don't ask) and the FAF is a non-profit annual campaign to raise money for the various arts organizations here. A signed print will be given to every Leadership Giver, which means those who dug $1500 out of their pockets and paychecks.

I've signed 600 prints so far, halfway to the projected number of 1200 Leadership gifts.

Hmmm, let’s see: I'm guessing that's an image from Swine Lake? And Pigoletto? Is that Lester Young in his pork pie hat?) I immediately recognized Link Wray and the artist Francis Bacon. Might that be Cincinnati’s own James LeSwine? And of course, Hamlet.

Sometimes editorial cartoonists get knocked for being negative nay-sayers of the community. These three projects you've just posted are more proof that you are a great asset to your community and neighbors. It's very obvious your yay-saying is equal to your citicisms. Bravo!
